My Base Z weighed 3420 when I checked it on a scale... I guess you were talking about the camaro that was tipping 4,000 lbs?

good times though.. AT are def prooving to be quicker at the stip though, pretty crazy.

I went a few weeks ago , when things were certainly not ideal and didnt do even close to what I wanted but I have reasons and am confident I will get a 13.0 or better pass on Wednesday as I have addressed and will address what I did wrong, which def included running a heat soaked car. This time I have slicks and will be there plenty early. But the auto's seem to pull what I prob will without the hassle of slicks.

When i was there there was a Camaro SS running 12.8 on avg, C63 a few 12.6s and one 12.4, and a hangful of gt500 shelbys which were mostly modded and all running 12.5 or better on their good passes. one ran a best time of 11.7 against me, lol with a 1.7 60 foot i believe on street tires, which is insane...

My buddy ran a 13.0 fully modded the following week in his auto... And has videos of him running and beating an c5 vette and other nice cars and doing VERY well against them.

He lined up with a new z06 and got a much better reaction time and also a better 60 so he jumped ahead and it took a lot longer for the z06 to catch him than I would of thought, in the video you hear the announcer say " Pretty good drag race here " and its a z06 and his smurf going at it... he ran a 13.1 to his 12.7 . The vettes launch wasnt the best 2.3 60 to his 2.0. But at the line they were within feet of each other due to the reaction time. You cant even tell who really finished ahead just by eye.
